2 Up 2 Down

As the fatigue sets in and more kids are killed then you see the realization of the what will happen to them sink in. They talk shyt with each other and form bonds similar to the movie though
The Long Walk (Stephen King adaptation)
- Thread starter WIA20XX
- Start date
I feel like King did a better job of making the dialogue feel more "lived-in" in a sense---like it was more so a couple of neighborhoods on the walk even tho they'd never met each other---who were faced with a lot of the same diverse issues one might see in said neighborhoods.
I think the characters had much more natural conflict amongst themselves too which goes a long way to building a bond. And mah boi Swifty McV def had some more edge to him iirc.
The (almost) sense of community felt more earned by the end of the book...to the point where I wouldn't have even been mad at the movies ending fr if they had managed to do the same.
But, inherently, you can also get off more in (slow pacing) a book than you can a movie so it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things I suppose.
It was still one of the better King adaptations for the most part.

Yeah, but they also said fukk the Major to his face and he wasn't trippin'. Once you're on the walk of death the Major gives you 'last meal' privileges.

I just finished watching this. It was decent but nothing special. Didn't like the ending.
Also, the world was too vague. Should've gave us more info and context. I know it's based on a book but it's not a 1:1 adaptation, so give us a little bit more.

Yup
The Long Walk & The Running Man were less about world building, lore & all that and my more so about social commentary and allegories for better or worse.
So I've heard but I still wished they gave us more (just a little bit).
Like I said, it's not like the movie is an exact adaptation.
Watching this.
The dialog fukking so annoying and outta place.
This mafukka pull out a cigarette.
They don't make any character likable so I don't give a fukk when they get killed.

They coulda made this more believable and give them like an hour rest after 24hrs or some shyt. But these mafukkas into day 3. 
I know they made $ on this shyt. It probably only cost less than a million to make.
Just rented the vehicles.
None of the characters act like they come from the reality they live in. Mafukkas knew what it was beforehand and all cheery and shyt
Especially the lead Black dude.
Dude mad annoying.
His accent fukking terrible.
Sound like he trying to sound Texan and Boston white while dipping skol.

So he was just allowed to walk away at the end?
This movie so overhyped.
